Suspension

The quality of the suspension in a 3 wheel buggy-wheel double buggy is crucial to how easy it will be for you and your child to push. It is essential to have a smooth ride, as babies can feel every bump that comes along the road. This is particularly relevant if you drive on rough terrain like grass or roads that are not paved. Some models also come with locking front wheels to assist with maneuvering and getting over obstacles like curbs.

Some models come with air-filled tyres which will provide a fantastic all-terrain experience, but they can be prone to punctures, so ensure you have a spare set in the trunk. Some models have gel or foam tyres, designed to withstand bumps and can be less prone to punctures, however, you might feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back if you decide to jog.

The side-by-side buggy is the best buggy for city walks. It features a fantastic suspension system that allows you to easily and comfortably navigate any terrain. Upgrade the duet to our dual kit and you can take two children in the same footprint!

Folding

You can find options that fold flat and stand up (as as if they're in a pushchair position) and also those that pop open to reveal a more umbrella-style fold, with the option of a brake operated by hand. The more wheels a buggy has, in general the more easy it will be to maneuver through rough terrain. This is especially true if your wheels are larger than average size. You will have more stability and it's less likely that you will be forced to tip over or flip your child.
